I mentioned a few weeks ago that I would be offering the new designs in my collection at 50% off and so without further ado here is the first design I am offering…

This 2 color letterpress ensemble features a 5x7 main panel printed on 600 GSM white 2 ply copperplate paper with a beautiful peony motif and a coordinating pink outer envelope with printed return address on the back flap. The coordinating reply card is 3x5 printed on 300GSM copperplate paper and includes a matching printed white textured envelope as well as a custom postage stamp featuring the peony from the main panel. One additional enclosure card printed on 300 GSM copperplate paper, such as a reception card or directions is included in the price noted below, but is not shown.

For your reference, the sale price for this design as described above for 100 sets is $1100 plus shipping.

If selected, I will send you a quote as per your specifications. For example, if you do not require the additional enclosure card, or you require more or less sets the pricing would be adjusted accordingly.

I will consider color customization. See here for available ink options. There are certain restrictions in letterpress in terms of printing certain colors on colored paper (ie: the outer envis) and I’ll communicate to you any issues that I forsee with your choices.

Here’s how it works:Reply to this post with your interest and the following details-Your name and email address-Your wedding date-Your deadline for outer envis, if you need them earlier for calligraphy purposes

On April 20th, I will pick a winner at random and we will begin the process. You will send me your wording details and any additional specifications that you require. Within 3-5 business days I will forward digital proofs for your approval followed by your final quote.

Payment in full is due upon ‘going to press’ and can be made via Paypal.

Samples from my past collection are available upon request, but in very limited quanities.

Thought you'd like to know there is an invitation designer bragging that she can replicate your designs at a fraction of the cost on the The Knot (Northeast Ohio boards)...she specifically replicated your invitation shown in the Sunday Morning paper sale.

Here is a link to the brides page which shows the replication of your invitation....followed by none other than YOUR invitation to show how close her copycat design is to the original. (you have to click next to see the second and third picturs which are yours...)

The invitation designer who is copying your work is:

Jennifer Crawford-Invitation Designmetzcrawford@hotmail.com

"Jennifer did a fantastic job replicating a VERY expensive invite that I loved. She can handle just about anything!" ....A quote from the brides vendors page.

I too am a bride and this designer who keeps shamelessly bragging about ripping off other peoples work is annoying me...and I have seen her work - its not all that great!

It is really a challenge to prepare for your own wedding but hey you're happy right so no problem! I was just looking around blogs for a good wedding stationery then I stumble upon this blog and I think I'm getting good ideas for my own wedding. Thanks!
